With this intent, ten people with ID were interviewed. They live in various regions of the city of Goiânia/GO, have formal schooling experiences and their ages range from sixteen to thirty-three years old. The theoretical basis is grounded, among others, on American (2010), Berger and Luckmann (2003), Foucault (1995, 2001), Glat (1989), Lobo (2015), Meireles (2014), Moscovici (2007), Pessotti (2012), Silva (1986), Vaginay (2012) and Vygotsky (2012). The bibliographic research revealed that historically people with ID have experienced situations of exclusion, segregation and social silencing. Representations of them, for centuries, have been based on conceptions of supernaturality or subhumanity. The emergence of more dignified social and scientific representations occurred mainly in the second half of the twentieth century. In Brazil, the social effects of such representations, especially in their personal lives, were intensified with the emergence of inclusive education in the late 1990s. Data analysis indicates that awareness of the disability is not generalized; they perceive their singularities, but do not relate them to ID; they explain it, as a rule, through capacities, not difficulties and/or limitations; they experience freedom and interactive possibilities, including virtual ones, similar to those of their age peers; they are happy people; they are aesthetically similar to any young person; they strive to forge a positive social image of themselves; they aspire to have an ordinary life regarding work, money, a quiet life, profession, home and family. / Esta pesquisa, realizada com enfoque qualitativo e com coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas de profundidade, tem como principal objetivo conhecer as representações que jovens com deficiência intelectual (DI) têm a respeito desta deficiência e as aspirações que têm para o seu futuro pessoal. Com este intento, foram entrevistadas dez pessoas com DI, residentes em diversas regiões da cidade de Goiânia/GO, com experiência de escolarização formal e com idades entre dezesseis e trinta e três anos. O aporte teórico foi composto, dentre outros, por American (2010), Berger e Luckmann (2003), Foucault (1995, 2001), Glat (1989), Lobo (2015), Meireles (2014), Moscovici (2007), Pessotti (2012), Silva (1986), Vaginay (2012) e Vygotski (2012). A pesquisa bibliográfica desvelou que historicamente a pessoa com DI tem experienciado situações de exclusão, de segregação e de silenciamento social. As representações a respeito dela, por séculos, embasaram-se em concepções de sobrenaturalidade ou de sub-humanidade. A emergência de representações sociais e científicas mais dignificantes ocorreu principalmente na segunda metade do século XX. No Brasil, seus efeitos sociais, sobretudo na vida pessoal delas, foram intensificados com a emergência da educação inclusiva em fins dos anos de 1990. A análise dos dados denota que a consciência da deficiência não é generalizada; percebem as suas singularidades, mas não as relacionam à DI; a explicam, via de regra, por meio das capacidades e não das dificuldades e/ou limitações; vivenciam liberdades e possibilidades interativas, inclusive virtuais, semelhantes às dos seus pares etários; são pessoas felizes; esteticamente, são similares a qualquer jovem; se empenham em forjar uma imagem social positiva de si; aspiram ter uma vida comum no que concerne ao trabalho, ao dinheiro, à vida tranquila, à profissão, à casa e à família.

Giorgio Vasari nasceu em 1511, na cidade de Arezzo, Itália. Em 1574, quando morreu, deixou atrás de si uma enorme quantidade de pinturas por toda a Toscana, uma série de empreendimentos arquitetônicos em Florença que realizou para o duque, bem como a obra pela qual talvez seja mais conhecido: o livro das Vite de’più eccelenti architetti, pittori e scultori italiani da Cimabue insino a tempi nostri descritte in lingua toscana da Giorgio Vasari pittore Aretino con una sua utile e necessaria introduzione a le arti loro (As vidas dos mais excelentes arquitetos, pintores e escultores italianos de Cimabue até os nossos tempos descritas em língua toscana por Giorgio Vasari pintor aretino com uma introdução útil e indispensável para as diferentes artes). Tão impressionante quanto o sucesso de sua carreira, são a quantidade e a variedade de registros sobre si mesmo que Giorgio Vasari foi capaz de produzir. Hábil também como escritor, registrou uma autobiografia como pintor e arquiteto, que julgou pertinente inserir na segunda edição de seu livro, além de um diálogo em que explica a decoração do Palazzo Vecchio. Também guardou cuidadosamente o registro de boa parte de suas encomendas, e deixou uma série de papéis esparsos que seus descendentes reuniriam com orgulho no chamado Zibaldone, em que estariam preservadas as invenzione do cavaliere Giorgio Vasari. Conhecedor e amante das artes, como se apresenta não apenas em sua autobiografia, mas ao longo de todas as Vite, detinha os meios técnicos necessários para realizar os ciclos decorativos internos das duas casas que adquiriu com o sucesso de sua carreira. Uma em Arezzo, sua cidade natal, a outra em Florença, local de sua realização profissional. Nesses ciclos expressou, ainda que de forma menos evidente do que os padrões contemporâneos exigem, e sempre limitado pelas convenções de sua época, o entendimento que tinha de si mesmo e de sua trajetória. Nesse trabalho, dedico-me a analisar essa documentação deixada por Vasari, procurando os traços de sua descrição de si mesmo, e tentando entender seus limites, suas possibilidades, suas inovações e suas motivações. Procuro compreender esse material a partir de um horizonte de expectativas individual do próprio Vasari, relacionando-o ao contexto de possibilidades que se abriam ao artistas durante esse período do qual ele não apenas fez parte, mas também ajudou a construir conceitualmente para a disciplina histórica: o Renascimento. No primeiro capítulo tento entender os limites dentro dos quais operava sua autorrepresentação escrita recorrendo a fontes mais antigas. A análise dessa figuração retórica através do texto aparece no segundo capítulo, em que realizo o comentário mais extenso de seus escritos. Essa tarefa bipartida é condensada no terceiro capítulo, em que procuro delimitar sua representação pictórica através de exemplos anteriores e contemporâneos, antes de realizar a análise do material vasariano propriamente dito. / Giorgio Vasari was born in 1511 in the town of Arezzo, Italy. In 1574, when he died, he left behind a huge amount of paintings throughout Tuscany, a series of architectural projects in Florence wich he performed for the Duke, and the work for which is perhaps best known: the book of the Vite de’più eccelenti architetti, pittori e scultori italiani da Cimabue insino a tempi nostri descritte in lingua toscana da Giorgio Vasari pittore Aretino con una sua utile e necessaria introduzione a le arti loro (The lives of the most excellent italian architects, painters and sculptors from Cimabue to our times described in the Tuscan language by Giorgio Vasari aretine painter with a useful and indispensable introduction to the different arts). As impressive as the success of his career, is the quantity and the variety of records about himself that Giorgio Vasari was able to produce. Also skilled as a writer, he recorded an autobiography as a painter and architect, wich he judged appropriate to insert in the second edition of his book, as well as a dialogue in which explains the decoration of the Palazzo Vecchio. He also kept carefully the record of most of his works, and left a number of scattered papers that his descendants proudly gathered in the so-called Zibaldone, in wich would be preserved the invenzione of Cavaliere Giorgio Vasari. Connoisseur and lover of the arts, as he presents himself not only in his autobiography, but all over the Vite, he held the technical means to carry out the internal decorative cycles of the two houses he acquired with the success of his career. One in Arezzo, his hometown, the other in Florence, site of his professional achievement. These cycles expressed, albeit in a less obvious way than contemporary standards require, and always limited by the conventions of his time, his understanding of himself and his career. In this work, I dedicate myself to examine this documentation left by Vasari, looking for traces of his description of himself, and trying to understand its limits, possibilities, innovations and motivations. I try to understand this material from a perspective of Vasari‟s individual expectations, but also relating it to the context of possibilities that opened to artists during this period in which not only he took part, but also helped to form conceptually for the historical discipline: the Renaissance. In the first chapter I try to understand the limits within which Vasari operated his written self-representation using older sources. The analysis of this rhetoric figuration through the text appears in the second chapter, in which I render the more extensive review of his writings. This bipartisan task is condensed in the third chapter, in which I try to delineate his pictorial representation through previous and contemporary examples before performing the analysis of Vasari material itself.

Em seis meses de atividade de campo, nove dessas profissionais, colaboradoras da pesquisa, captaram imagens com máquinas fotográficas digitais a elas fornecidas. Fez-se oficinas semanais com os dois grupos: numa semana, um dos grupos ficava com as máquinas; na seguinte, os cartões de memória com as imagens feitas naquele período eram descarregados, estas eram armazenadas em computador e as máquinas eram repassadas ao outro grupo. Nas oficinas, discutiu-se técnica fotográfica e repertórios imagéticos. Ao final do trabalho de campo, seis colaboradoras que se mantiveram na pesquisa, cinco delas participantes desde o início, fizeram, como última atividade, uma seleção final de suas imagens, a qual foi justaposta com depoimentos sobre as fotografias escolhidas. / Abstract: This work was developed with woman and transvestite sex workers from Jardim Itatinga, prostitution neighbourhood in the city of Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil). Its goal was verifying whether or not the photographic practice of those subjects present gender marks and whether the interference of the photographic technique could conspire in favour of their self-representations. In six months of field activity, nine of these professionals, collaborators in the research, collected images with digital photographic cameras supplied to them. Weekly workshops were held with two groups: in one week, one of the groups kept the cameras; in the next, the images produced in that period were downloaded and saved in a computer and the cameras were transferred to the other group. In the workshops, we discussed photographic techniques and imagetic repertoires. At the end of the field work, six collaborators who stayed in the research - five of them participating from the beginning - made, as the last activity, a final selection of their images, which was juxtaposed with testimonies about the chosen pictures. / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestre em Artes

Este trabalho estudará o fenômeno da auto-representação em vídeos na internet. A pesquisa faz uma reflexão sobre os processos de subjetivação e a ação performática de sujeitos que se representam com a utilização das novas tecnologias, em especial a internet. Pretendo compreender as conseqüências para a transformação do audiovisual, observando algumas possíveis tendências dentro da cultura contemporânea. Pensando nessas questões, fiz a análise de diferentes vídeos na internet, além do estudo do ambiente hipertextual em que estes trabalhos estão inseridos. O trabalho aponta para a importância do protagonismo de novos indivíduos em um cenário muito mais múltiplo, diverso e "em construção", mas questiona a ideologia de uma tecnologia "salvadora", que por si só já traria as grandes transformações que a sociedade necessita. / Abstract: What happened when we turn the camera to ourselves? This work will study the phenomenon of self-representation in internet videos. The research makes a reflection about subjectvations process and the performative acts of the subjects who are representing themselves with the new technologies, mainly the internet. I intend understand the consequences to the audiovisual transformation, looking for some possible tendencies inside the contemporary culture. Thinking these questions, I did the analysis of different kind of videos in the internet, and the study of their hypertextual surroundings. The work points out to the importance of a new individual protagonism, in a much more multiple scenery, diverse and "under construction", but it questions the ideology of a "salvage" technology, who by itself could bring all the transformations that we need. / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

The offset of the claims of the macrstructural plan for the identity-oriented for the emergence of new social movements and the mobilization for the rights of persons with disabilities to live in segregated and not discriminatory environments. These mobilizations is the paradigm of inclusive education, subject and object of a few conventions, international agreements, of "review" of the Brazilian educational legislation, the extension of theoretical productions and re/organization of school classes. This process intensified in the second half of the year 1990, has caused significant changes in life and social relations of persons with disabilities, since questions and forge the breakup of dichotomous division between special education and regular education and allows a wider social coexistence. With the goal of realizing the auto representações that adolescents with intellectual disabilities have of themselves, formed a research group with students of cycle III in municipal schools in Goiânia. The choice of the subject of the research is the result of the contradiction that exists between the emergence of inclusive paradigm and the process of gene silencing of people with intellectual disabilities, given the difficulty of their autonomous institutional organization and belittling their ability to formulate opinions and critical analysis. The group consists of twenty people, most of the male students from 11 schools located in various regions of the capital. The data collection instruments were depth interviews, life story fundamentally and analysis of school documents. The main theoretical framework is formed, among others, by Alonso, Berger and Luckmann, Bourdieu, Goffman, Habermas, Mantoan, Mazzotta, Moscovici, Silva, Taylor and Bogdan, also, by official documents about the Brazilian school education and documents drawn from international conventions and agreements on education and the rights of people with intellectual disabilities. The bibliographical research showed that the representations are constructed socially, expressed in the political sphere of discourse-semantic mode, linked to the experiences of social coexistence and sociability of the subjects in the social institutions and historically anchored. Empirical research has shown that the Group of people with intellectual disabilities, regarding the physical characteristics, behavioral, health and personal development, is, in itself, a very heterogeneous group. Despite personal differences, the autorepresentações make explicit a positive self-image of themselves as a student in regular public school in Goiânia; the desire to keep your education process in schools and regular classes; the commitment to present a good social image of itself, taking advantage of postures in/discipline to give visibility to a positive image in relation to its peers; the importance of colleagues, teachers, the conversations and all forms of sociality made possible at school for personal well-being; the appreciation for the school and for the friendships; the posture of victimhood and ambiguous situation not to be in a process where conflicts the various representations about the person with intellectual disabilities, their rights, possibilities and potential. / O século XX foi caracterizado pelo desencadeamento de debates sobre os direitos humanos e de cidadania. Do deslocamento das reivindicações do plano macroestrutural para as de cunho identitário há a emergência dos novos movimentos sociais e a mobilização em prol dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência de viverem em ambientes não segregados e discriminatórios. Dessas mobilizações surge o paradigma da educação inclusiva, tema e objeto de algumas convenções, de acordos internacionais, de “revisão” da legislação educacional brasileira, da ampliação de produções teóricas e da re/organização das classes escolares. Esse processo, intensificado na segunda metade dos anos de 1990, tem provocado mudanças significativas na vida e nas relações sociais de pessoas com deficiência, uma vez que questiona e forja o rompimento da divisão dicotômica entre educação especial e educação regular e possibilita uma convivência social mais ampla. Com o objetivo de perceber as autorepresentações que adolescentes com deficiência intelectual têm de si, formou-se um agrupamento de pesquisa com estudantes de ciclo III em escolas municipais em Goiânia. A escolha dos sujeitos da pesquisa é fruto da contradição existente entre a emergência do paradigma inclusivo e o processo de silenciamento das pessoas com deficiência intelectual, dada a dificuldade de sua organização institucional autônoma e do menosprezo a sua capacidade de formular opiniões e análises críticas. O agrupamento é formado por vinte pessoas, a maior parte do sexo masculino, estudantes de onze escolas localizadas em várias regiões da capital. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram entrevistas de profundidade, história de vida fundamentalmente e análise dos documentos escolares. O referencial teórico principal é formado, dentre outros, por Alonso, Berger e Luckmann, Bourdieu, Goffman, Habermas, Mantoan, Mazzotta, Moscovici, Silva, Taylor e Bogdan, também, por documentos oficiais sobre a educação escolar brasileira e documentos elaborados a partir de acordos e convenções internacionais sobre a escolarização e os direitos de pessoas com deficiência intelectual. A pesquisa bibliográfica evidenciou que as representações são construídas socialmente, expressas na esfera política de modo discursivo-semântico, vinculadas às experiências de convivência social e de sociabilidade dos sujeitos nas instituições sociais e ancoradas historicamente. A pesquisa empírica revelou que o grupo de pessoas com deficiência intelectual, no que tange as características físicas, comportamentais, de saúde e de desenvolvimento pessoal, é, em si, um grupo bastante heterogêneo. Apesar das diferenças pessoais, as auto-representações explicitam uma autoimagem positiva de si como estudante na escola pública regular em Goiânia; o desejo de manter o seu processo de escolarização em escolas e classes regulares; o empenho em apresentar uma boa imagem social de si, valendose de posturas de in/disciplina para dar visibilidade a uma imagem positiva em relação a seus pares; a importância de colegas, professoras/es, das conversas e de todas as formas de sociabilidade possibilitadas na escola para o bem-estar pessoal; o apreço pela escola e pelas amizades; a postura de não vitimização e a situação ambígua de estar em um processo onde conflitam as várias representações sobre a pessoa com deficiência intelectual, seus direitos, possibilidades e potencialidades.

Quais as definições do jornalismo investigativo no Brasil? Na prática profissional, o que o distingue do jornalismo de modo geral e de outras especialidades da área? Quais os critérios de consagração de um jornalista como repórter investigativo? Essas e outras questões estão no seio desta pesquisa que busca identificar as condições de possibilidade da emergência dos discursos sobre o jornalismo investigativo em nosso país e, principalmente, esclarecer as apropriações que foram feitas a partir deles. Nosso intuito era compreender as definições de jornalismo investigativo que têm sido trabalhadas na bibliografia nacional à luz das disputas que tomam forma no interior do campo jornalístico. Partimos da análise de obras teóricas sobre o tema, de coletâneas de reportagens investigativas e de fontes documentais (como resultados de premiações, dados de associações etc.) para levantarmos definições, referências e apropriações do discurso do \"jornalismo investigativo\" em nosso país. Ao longo da pesquisa - que se focou na análise de obras publicadas principalmente entre 1970 e 2010 - conseguimos identificar três eixos nos quais as definições de JI poderiam ser divididas (um com foco no papel ativo do jornalista, outro com foco na função de denúncia e um terceiro que considera o jornalismo investigativo um pleonasmo) e, pelo menos, três usos diferentes dessa especialidade jornalística: ora ela aparece como sinônimo de grande reportagem, ora está identificada com o jornalismo policial e, após a redemocratização e a profissionalização do jornalismo brasileiro, ela será mais identificada com o escândalo político. Argumentamos que cada um desses deslocamentos de sentido, que por vezes são muito sutis e não necessariamente lineares, podem ser entendidos como posicionamentos diante de acontecimentos e transformações que ocorreram no período: o fim da censura prévia e o início da abertura política do regime militar, o crescimento do papel das Relações Públicas e das assessorias de imprensa, as regulamentações profissionais e o desenvolvimento do ensino de jornalismo, bem como as reformas editoriais em grandes veículos de comunicação. Compreendendo essas disputas e tendo em vista as transformações que as novas mídias estão promovendo no campo, defendemos uma nova compreensão do jornalismo investigativo, em termos de sua posição em relação à esfera do poder, que recusa os critérios puramente baseados nos métodos de apuração ou nos seus efeitos. / What are the definitions of investigative journalism in Brazil? In professional practice, which distinguishes it from ordinary journalism and other specialties of the area? What are the acclaim criteria of a journalist as an investigative reporter? These and other questions are at the core of this research that seeks to identify the emergence conditions of discourses on investigative journalism in our country, and, primarily, clarify the appropriations made from them. Our aim was to understand the investigative journalism definitions that have been put forth in the national bibliography in light of disputes that take shape within the journalistic field. We started from the analysis of theoretical works on the subject, investigative reports collections and documentary sources (such as results of awards, associations data etc.) to gather definitions, references and appropriations of the \"investigative journalism\" discourse in our country. During the research - which focused on the analysis of works published mainly between 1970 and 2010 - we were able to identify three areas in which IJ definitions could be divided (one focusing on the journalist\'s active role, the other focusing on the denunciation function and a third part who considers investigative journalism pleonastic) and at least three different uses of this journalistic branch: sometimes it appears as synonymous with cover story, occasionally it is identified with police reporting and, after the democratization and professionalization of Brazilian journalism, it will be identified with political scandal. We argue that each of these shifts of direction, which are sometimes very subtle and not necessarily linear, can be understood as stances regarding events and changes that occurred during the period such as: the end of censorship and the beginning of the political relaxation of the military regime, the growth of the role of Public Relations and press offices, professional regulations and development of journalism education, as well as editorial reform in major media outlets. Understanding these disputes and in light of the changes in the field promoted by the media, we advocate a new understanding of investigative journalism, in terms of its position in relation to the power sphere, a sphere that refuses criteria based purely based on the reporting methods or its effects.

The topic of LGBT rights has been increasingly discussed and debated over recent years. More and more scholars show their interests in the field of LGBT representations in media. However, not many studies involved LGBT representations in social media. This paper explores LGBT representations on Facebook by analysing posts on an open page and in a private group, including both representations of the self as the identity of sexual minorities, content that is displayed on Facebook and the similarities and differences in two different settings (a private group and an open page). This study aims to fill the gap of self- representations of sexual minorities in non-anonymous online settings. Main concepts in this study include communication, gender, and sexuality, media representation, power, identity, stereotypes, self-representations, and discourse. A content analysis was conducted on posts from an LGBT open page and a private group with CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis) being used as the method. Results suggest that both the open page and private group express values of non- discrimination, equality, and respect by presenting links, images and with an extra form of representation - personal statements in the group. Compared to the neutral environment on the open page, more personal emotions are involved in the private group and some of them tend to be negative. However, some images can go extreme, they overemphasise same-sex marriages but neglect other ones.

Magister Artium - MA / Storytelling serves many purposes. People often tell stories as a coping mechanism, as a way of self-representation, and as a means for self-reflection. Through stories, narrators construct identities and gain perspective on events in their lives. This thesis is a discourse analysis of a single narrative told by a young man staying at a children's home in Cape Town. The study explores how life events are presented and evaluated in narrative and analyses the construction of identities. The objectives of the study are threefold. Firstly it aims to explore how the narrator draws on different social discourses in the telling of his narrative. Secondly, it analyses how, through the telling of these events, identities are constructed. Finally, the study assesses how the participant builds evaluation into his narrative. The study’s overall purpose is to gain an understanding of narrative identities. The analysis reveals that Lucas develops three Master Narratives relating to the themes of family, education and drugs. His attitudes towards all three are ambivalent and he weaves competing discourses into his narrative in relation to each. He seeks, through his story, to construct himself as a wise young man who - having experimented with drugs and dropped out of school - makes the decision to redeem himself by going back to school, rejecting drugs, and mending his ties with his family. In this sense, his narrative is like an archetypal Bildungsroman. The study takes a qualitative approach and is situated within the fields of Discourse Analysis, more specifically, narrative analysis. The main theoretical influences in the study include Tannen (1989/2007; 2008) and Labov (1972). The analysis of this study focuses on identifying the Master Narratives that shape Lucas's story as well as the discourses and competing ideologies which support these Master Narratives. / South Africa

A partir d’une expérience clinique et d’une réflexion théorique indexée à la démarche freudienne nous proposons une approche psychanalytique de la psychopathologie de l’obésité à travers trois axes de réflexion. Le premier axe concerne l’impact de l’empiétement par les premiers objets sur les futurs investissements objectaux de l’obèse. Les effets délétères des perturbations précoces du nourrissage, par excès ou par défaut, pourront être traités soit par une série de mécanismes du registre du négatif - ce que nous proposons de nommer la lignée blanche -, soit par une incorporation primordiale de l’objet dont la ligne de fuite est la mélancolie corporelle - que nous associons à la lignée noire -. Le deuxième axe de réflexion interroge la question de la transgression des limites corporelles et orales à l’œuvre dans l’obésité, cela d’un point de vue individuel comme à l’échelle sociale et culturelle. Enfin, le troisième axe met en perspective la constitution de l’obésité avec les vicissitudes et les apories du développement de la psychosexualité. / From clinical experience and from a theoretical reflection indexed in the Freudian approach we propose a psychoanalytical approach of the psychopathology of the obesity through three axes of reflection. The first axis concerns the impact of the encroachment by the first objects upon the future objectal investments of the obese subject. The noxious effects of the premature disturbances of the early feeding, by excess or by default, can be treated or by a series of negative mechanisms-what we suggest naming the white lineage-, or by an incorporation of the object : the body melancholy - that we associate with the black lineage-.The second axis of reflection is the question of transgression of the body limits. We propose an individually and a social and cultural study of this phenomenon. Finally, the third axis is interested in the constitution of obesity and in the aporias of the development of the psychosexuality.

Le parti-pris de la présente recherche consiste à récuser l’autonomie de l’œuvre littéraire, afin de tenter une lecture des textes de trois auteurs féminins français du XXe siècle à la lumière des représentations de la femme qui écrit dans l’imaginaire collectif de l’époque. Ce parti-pris définit non seulement l’angle de vision de la chercheuse, mais aussi sa manière de présenter les résultats de ses réflexions, lesquelles ont en effet pris la forme de trois amples allers-retours entre, d’une part, l’analyse des réseaux discursifs (médiatiques, scientifiques, littéraires) contemporains de la période examinée dans chacune de trois parties de la thèse et, d’autre part, les textes des femmes-écrivains qui relèvent de la même période. S’inspirant de l’approche conceptuelle et des méthodes du nouvel historicisme, de la sociologie de l’art et des études de réception, ce travail cherche à saisir ce que le fait de débuter une carrière d’écrivain dans la première moitié du siècle dernier pouvait impliquer pour un auteur féminin. L’examen des opinions accréditées et des idées reçues qui circulaient à l’époque au sujet de la littérature féminine permet ainsi de relever que les divers avis concernant les particularités du style des auteurs-femmes convergeaient tous en un point crucial : l’image de la femme-écrivain est avant toute celle d’une autobiographe contre son gré. En effet, la femme – censée être spontanée, sensuelle, émotive, narcissique et naïve – semblait prédisposée à ne traiter dans ses écrits que les expériences qu’elle avait elle-même vécues. Cette mise en contexte nous permet d’éclairer les conditions de construction de l’identité d’écrivain de ces femmes à qui il est échu par le sort d’écrire – c’est-à-dire de se publier, de se placer sous le regard du public, ou encore de se faire (re)connaître – dans la France du XXe siècle. Il s’avère ainsi que le consensus général sur la nature de la créativité féminine et sur les limites du génie créateur de la femme a beaucoup joué non seulement dans leur refus de toute filiation avec écrivaines des générations précédentes, mais aussi dans l’identification qu’elles font de la littérature avec, d’une part, la conquête et l’affirmation de la singularité, et d’autre part, avec les plus audacieuses transgressions. / Eschewing the most wide-spread conventional ways of exploring the subject (feminist criticism, psychoanalysis, structuralism and traditional linear pattern of writing literary biographies), this study undertakes instead to construct a “personal genealogy” of the three French women writers and intellectuals of the past century, using the notions derived to a considerable extent from the thought of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, as well as from the critical approaches elaborated by the new criticism and the reader response literary theory. This manner of reading the 20th century French women’s writers leads the researcher to examine the stereotypes of the “feminine literature” prevailing at that time in order to explain the complex play of different kinds of power involved in the emergence of the interwar women writers generation refusing any collective identity, as well as any filiation with their feminine predecessors (George Sand, Rachilde, Colette, Anna de Noailles, Marcelle Tinayre, etc.). Not surprisingly, the women writers of the “new wave” promote instead the idea of making oneself: the human subject is therefore viewed as a product of social and discursive forces that every single individual’s choice is to confirm or to reject. Thus, the inferiority assigned to the women’s writing is neither called in question nor denounced: it is simply passed over, evaded considering this generic identity irrelevant to the exceptional cases of the striking personalities - the influential (women) intellectuals and the successful (women) authors.
